Keeping checkpoint/restart viable for exascale systems
… of checkpoint/restart and keep this method viable for future exascale systems. More specifically, this work evaluates state-machine replication to dramatically increase the checkpoint interval (the time between successive checkpoints) and hash-based, probabilistic incremental checkpointing …

Environmental Determinism: Broken Paradigm or Viable Perspective?.
<p>The research was to examine the issue of environmental determinism. It was an ideology that was prevalent throughout the early decades of the 20<sup>th</sup> century that held that the natural environment was responsible for virtually all human development. It helped bring the study of geography …

A commercially viable computer security implementation framework
Commercial computer security concerns have grown in importance with the continued rise of computer literacy among the general populace. Despite this, the education of management information system professionals in the application of computer security techniques has been largely ignored. This study …

Synthetic leasing : a viable alternative for the corporate user
Synthetic leasing is a method used to provide off-balance sheet financing to a corporate entity for the acquisition and development of a commercial real estate asset. Recently, off-balance sheet transactions, specifically synthetic leases, have proliferated in connection with corporate acquisitions …

Tracing viable bacteria in Wadden Sea sediments using phospholipid analysis
… appear to be suitable biomarkers to trace viable bacteria. The specificity of phospholipids as biomarkers was tested by investigating the lipid composition of 30 different strains of sulfate-reducing bacteria. A sediment core with a length of 55 cm, studied in this thesis work, was taken …

A viable multivariable adaptive controller with application to autonomous helicopters
… are adequate at best at hover, and therefore not viable in real plants, as the unknown trim conditions and dynamics result in severe performance degradation even at moderate speeds. For an autonomous vehicle control system to be viable, it must accommodate uncertainties in the trim conditions …

Is Science and Biology fieldwork in ‘unexplored’ areas of Gozo viable?
This study aimed to explore and analyse the field studies potential of different sites in Gozo that are less-frequently used by teachers of Biology and Integrated Science during their field trips. Interviews about fieldwork practices and preferences were conducted with eleven Biology and Integrated …

Investigating the parameter space of viable models for f(R) gravity
… Monte Carlo analysis significantly narrowed the viable region of the exponent parameter space of the general power law f(R) model. Current cosmological distance data; SNIa (Union 2), BAO (6dFGS, BOSS, SDSS, WiggleZ) as well as the LRG power spectrum (SDSS DR9), were used to obtain these …

Biocapacitance Sensors for In-Line Viable Cell Density Monitoring in Complex Bioreactors
The precise monitoring of Viable Cell Density (VCD) in bioreactors is crucial for optimizing bioprocesses, improving yield, and maintaining product quality. VCD can be effectively indicated by biocapacitance, a capacitance associated with the viable cell membrane, which can be detected through …
